Capturing Your Notes - Smart Technologies SMART BOARD User Manual

Capturing Your Notes

Take the cap of the pen off and write in the color you selected. As soon as you begin writing
on a SMART Board in non-projected mode, SMART Notebook opens. Whatever you write on
the SMART Board is simultaneously displayed on your computer screen in SMART
Notebook.
If you don't want to keep your annotations in a Notebook file, simply erase the dry-ink
markings on your Board. This erases the electronic ink on the computer as well.
Once you've filled the Board with notes, you'll want to make sure they're safely captured in
the open Notebook program before you erase them and write any more.
Before you erase, press the New Page button in the Pen Tray!
Press the top (New Page) button in the Pen Tray or the Insert Blank Page button in SMART
Notebook and your notes will be captured in the current Notebook page. It's that simple.
Also, a new page is simultaneously opened to be filled with fresh notes. Don't forget to save
the Notebook file when you're finished taking notes.
When you press the New Page button in the Pen Tray, you can erase the Board confidently,
secure in the knowledge that:
•
what you're erasing has been captured in Notebook
•
the next Board-full of notes you write will be captured into a new, blank page in
Notebook
You can, of course, check to make sure your notes are captured simply by moving to your
computer and looking at the current open page in Notebook. You'll see the notes you're
about to erase have been captured and now appear as the final page in the Notebook Side
Sorter and the current page will be a new, blank page, ready to receive fresh notes.
Press the New Page button

Erasing Tip
You can also erase
with your finger in non-
projected mode.
Leaving all tools in the
Pen Tray, touch the
Board and you will
erase the electronic ink
on the monitor with the
equivalent of a small-
sized eraser.
